What are the functions of neuron? |
|
Answer» Neurons are nerve cells which are the functional units of the nervous system. The three main parts of a neuron are dendrite, cell body and axon.Functioning of its three parts.Dendrite: It detect information and conducts the messages towards the cell body.Cell body: It contains nucleus, mitochondria, and other cell organelles. It maintains the growth of the cell.Axon: It conducts messages away from the cell body and pass to the next neuron.Hope it helps you..... Neuron helps in the transmission of signals from various parts of our body through nerves as nervous are made up of several neurons Draw the structure of a neuron and explain its function. \xa0Structure of a neuronFunction: Dendrites of a neuron collect information from the receptors and pass it to the cell body in the form of electrical impulse. From the cell body impulse passes along the axon to its end. At end of the axon, the electrical impulse results in the release of certain chemicals (chemical neurotransmitters). These chemicals cross the gap (synapse) between the endings of the axon and dendrites of the next neuron and start a similar electric impulse in the dendrites. Thus information received travels along the neurons of a nerve to the effector muscles or gland. On reaching to the desired muscle or gland, axon endings from Neuromuscular junction (synapse between axon endings and muscle cells) through which information delivered from neuron to muscles or glands.
